Treachery! Military Officers Aligned, Collaborated With Boko Haram

A report from the Nigeria Army on Thursday, September 1, has confirmed that some military officials betrayed the country through their treacherous act. They were selling arms and ammunition to Boko Haram.

According to the theatre commander, Operation Lafia Dole, Major General Lucky Irabor, who disclosed the information to reporters in Yola, the suspected officers were already facing a court-martial.

The Commander who had visited Adamawa State to inspect newly acquired warplanes to be used in fight against the Islamist sect, said military operations would continue until the terrorists is completely wiped out of the country.

“There is no going back in the fight against terrorism in the northeastern region of the country. We are going to continue heavy attacks in Sambisa Forest and other areas Boko Haram are occupying until they are completely cleared from the zone,”he said.

Irabor acknowledge there are still towns in Borno State under control of the sect, but he assured there is no local government totally under Boko Haram’s control.

“They are hiding in few towns. But very soon, we will recapture them,”he said.

He described a recent video showing girls abducted from Chibok town by Boko Haram as fake and insisted that the clip was the product of a desperate and fading terrorist group, struggling to prove it is still active, quote,“The video is an evidence of defeat and the mental torture Boko Haram is suffering,”he said.

The military have gradually advanced its intelligence in the war against the terrorists and just yesterday, Buzznigeria learned that one of Army fighter jets had carried out an attack on a location where some injured top leaders of Boko Haram were hiding inside Borno.

According spokesman for the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, Ayodele Famuyiwa, the air raid was effected following intelligence that revealed that some of the Boko Haram commanders had fled to take refuge and medical care at secret camp called Tumbun Rego.

However, NAF is yet to ascertain the casualty figure, but they released a video of the post-strike Battle Damage Assessment mission which showed that the degree of damage achieved was devastating as the buildings were engulfed by large fire. Hence Irabor said, “fight against Boko Haram continues until when Boko Haram drop their arms or when we are able to crush them. It can be tomorrow or in the next 20 years. Terrorism war can last 50 years.”

U.S. Says Boko Haram May Be Sending Fighters To Islamic State In Libya

A senior U.S. official said on Friday that there are signs that Nigeria’s Boko Haram terrorist group is sending fighters to join Islamic State in Libya to increase cooperation between the two groups.

Nigeria has asked the United States to sell it aircraft to fight Boko Haram, which has been waging a seven-year insurgency in the north and last year pledged loyalty to Islamic State, which is active in Syria, Iraq and Libya.

Little is known about the extent of cooperation between the two radical Islamist groups.

But Western governments worry that Islamic State’s growing presence in north Africa and ties with Boko Haram could herald a push south into the vast, lawless Sahel region and create a springboard for wider attacks.

Longer Than Thought

U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, said there were “reports” that Boko Haram fighters were going to Libya, where Islamic State had established a large presence, taking advantage of security chaos.

“We’ve seen that Boko Haram’s ability to communicate has become more effective. They seem to have benefited from assistance from Daesh,” he said, using a derogatory name for Islamic State. There were also reports of material and logistical aid.

“So these are all elements that suggests that there are more contacts and more cooperation, and this is again something that we are looking at very carefully because we want to cut it off,” Blinken told reporters in Nigeria.

Blinken said the United States was helping Nigeria in its fight against Boko Haram with armoured vehicles. But he declined to comment on a request by Nigeria to sell it aircraft.

U.S. officials told Reuters this month that Washington wanted to sell up to 12 A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft to Nigeria in recognition of President Muhammadu Buhari’s army reforms. Congress needs to approve the deal.

President Muhammadu Buhari had said that the nation was “not bothered initially, of what intentional connection Boko Haram has until they claimed that they are loyal to ISIS”.

He associated the crisis with incidents in the Sahel region, saying that what happened in Libya in the Sahel, in terms of trained personnel and weapons, had compounded the problem, making it last longer than thought.

He also said that Nigeria’s border with neighbouring countries, mostly in the eastern region, was difficult to monitor.

“We have more than 1,500 kilometres neighbourhood in an area where donkeys, oxen, camels can cross any time of the day. It is not easy to guide such borders,” President Buhari added

FLASH| Boko Haram’s Chief Bomb Maker Killed by Shekau’s Bodyguard

In what will be described as a major breakthrough in the clearance and rescue operation by the Nigerian military and to also confirm that all is not well within the Boko Haram terrorists camp, as their chief bomb maker and a high ranking terrorist, was shot dead today.

The chief bomb maker, apart from his high status in the command structure of the Boko Haram terrorists, he was one of their capable hands involved in making Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), coming after their chief scientist, called Abu RPG (who has been killed long ago).

The chief bomb maker was killed by one of the body guard of the Boko Haram terrorists leader, Abubakar Shekau as he was about to run away just like several others are doing because of the intensity of Operation CRACKDOWN.

In a related development, one Julelebeeb who was appointed to take over is now completely blind because his two eyes were shattered by shrapnel, in the process of preparing an IED to consolidate his appointment.

There is no doubt, this development has dealt a devastating blow on the terrorists capacity on IED preparation, suicide bombing and their ability to sustain their criminal acts.

We would like to reassure the public that our troops are continuing with the clearance and rescue operations successfully in order to completely clear Boko Haram terrorists wherever they might be hiding.
You are kindly requested disseminate to the public through your medium.

Thank you for your kind and usual cooperation.
